The Perceptual Dimensions of Sonority-Driven Epenthesis

Prosodic well-formedness and sonority constraints: epenthesis in Irish

1. Introduction Early accounts of epenthesis in Optimality Theory focused on epenthesis that results from constraints on prosodic structure, that is, from syllable structure constraints or minimal prosodic category (e.g. minimal word) requirements. McCarthy & Prince (1993a) account for word-internal consonant epenthesis at V-V junctures in Axininca Campa, for example, by ranking ONSET (Syllable...

Sonority-Driven Reduction

0. Combinations of Sonority and Stress In their analysis of Imdlawn Tashlhiyt Berber syllabification, Prince and Smolensky (1993) postulate that different types of prominence, such as sonority and syllabicity, should align—a phenomenon they term prominence alignment. This concept is implemented by Prince and Smolensky using families of inherently-ranked constraints that are derived from combini...

The influence of preceding consonant on perceptual epenthesis in Japanese

Research on perceptual epenthesis in Japanese has revealed high back [ɯ] to be the vowel commonly perceived in illicit consonant sequences. However, loanword studies suggest that there are three epenthetic vowels, which reflect phonotactic restrictions on certain consonant + vowel sequences. Expanding previous perception studies, this paper investigates the extent to which perceptual epenthesis...
